I happen to have a bit of chit-chat to catch up on from Square the First...

Prince Cor wrote:RUBY!!! Glad you had a great 16th birthday and great to see you in the Square again!

COR!! It's great to see all of you too. How has your summer been going thus far? Do you have plans for the upcoming autumn season?

Lady Liln wrote:Ruby, sounds like you've been having a lovely summer!

Yes, indeed! Overall, how has your summer been? Good, I hope.

*GRIN* Nothing beats Owl City!! I read an interview with him in Christianity Today and I think it's so hilarious that he like wasn't expecting to get famous or popular at all. It's so nice to see humble artists like him.

Haha! I like how you listen to Justin Beiber when you're feeling weird. I've never really listened to his stuff. I've only ever heard bits and pieces, so I won't judge you. I know a lot of people who think I'm weird, because I listen to Owl City.

I recall we were having a serious discussion which I never got to hear your reply to because I disappeared off the face of the Earth. Would you like to resume our discussion?

Hmm, so today has been a bit dull like yesterday was. I'll probably spend the majority of it finishing up the last of Karen Hancock's Legend Of The Guardian-King series. I love Karen Hancock's books!! She's a Christian author, but she has a very unique style and her allegorical books are actually good! And I'm a sucker for well-written fantasy.

I very seldom drop in here, as y'all well know, but I would like to try to post more often in the sequel to the first new NW Square. There is something so very homey here, in the Square... I feel the gentle breeze welcoming me, like the hug of an old friend. It's quiet here, and the only sound to be heard is the tinkling of water from the fountain. But of course the square will soon be bustling, and though the fountain will still be heard, instead of a singing a lullaby, it will laugh with the rest of the Ditto Town Residents.

I know- he's incredibly humble and down to earth, and I love how he still acts totally amazed at what's happened to him and how much success he's had . That interview is great, I especially love the part where he says that he is shocked he has so many teenage girls for fans .

. Hehe, well he's one of those guys that's really popular so people either hate him or love him. I'm kinda in between b/c I like him, but not his lyrics and videos so much. Lol, I get teased for Owl City too, but I LOVE him. His music really is amazing. Have you heard any of Sky Sailing?

I'd not heard of him until his name began popping up here on NarniaWeb. And that's a little ironic, since Adam Young hails from a small town a little more than an hour south of here (Owatonna) - I even have some relatives who live there.

Once I catch up here on the forum it's off to find some lunch, and then I hope to get outside for a bit. Today's a little less hot and humid than recent weather has been - and the heat and soup comes back tomorrow. Tonight's sky should be clear so I may get one last chance to see the northern lights (which so far have eluded me this year).

Likewise here, too, stargazer, we are experiencing gloriously cooler temperatures today; tomorrow as well, then the humidity returns Sunday again. Tonight is supposed to be starkly clear for us (hurrah), so I, also, hope to get in some good night-sky viewing. Enjoy! *memories-of-the-Moot*

you live that close to him!?!?!? LUCKY!!! Lol, it's a good thing I don't- I'd be stalking him everywhere, trying to find his house . Have you heard any of his music yet? It really is amazing .

A new Square!?! I REALLY need to come by more often. I started a ketchup post last night, but alas, I was interrupted and unable to finish it. Perhaps later.

I've brought homemade cookies to celebrate the grand opening! There are plenty for everyone. I look forward to continuing conversations with those of you that I have been blessed to 'meet' through the past Squares and becoming better acquainted with all of you!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hey to everyone and that I've missed you all.

well in my defense, I just went and re-watched the episode and listened very closely and I realized I thought it was Lucas b/c Will says Lukey...see? Not my fault . And yes you should trust me- I trust you ...sometimes .

Oh I see. But of course it was your fault! What are you going to blame me again?! I'll consider it

First page! Wait, it doesn't seem like anyone cares about that anymore... oh well.

Whoo, first new Square-opening of the new forum!

Life is proceeding as usual. Save for a video game I'm playing that would be relatively mundane, if it weren't about a girl who gets whisked to another world through her wardrobe (now where have I heard that before?), suddenly becomes a princess (that sounds somewhat familiar too), and has to learn how to dance and win the heart of one of six princes (well, that's a bit different).

And of course, I'm playing the girl.

(Did I mention that in this alternate world, the animals can talk? Hmm...)

Goooood mortereve! And hurrah for a shiny new Square! Dozens of DITTOS to you all!

I've been gone for too long again. Life has been utterly crazy lately. And to think, I thought I'd have more time for posting in the summer! Anyway, I've missed being in here with you all! A ketchup post will hopefully be coming soon, but I wanted to pop in for a moment and say hullo.

*waves to all Onions and happily takes one of Djaq's cookies to munch on before heading out*

A nervous, but important-looking figure enters the Square. He finds a place near the Fountain, clears his throat, and addresses those gathered."Ladies and Gentlemen; Squirrels and Dragons; and all others who do not fall into one of those categories."He pauses, clearly uncomfortable."I am the Mistress Dot's narrator."He pauses again."I don't do this sort of thing very often. But Dot was unfortunately unable to come herself today as she has caught a bad cold. And so she asked me to come and greet everyone for her."He pauses yet again."Oh, bother! I'm not a public speaker! I'm just a simple narrator."He suddenly realizes he spoke his thoughts aloud and quickly composes himself."Mistress Dot sends her greetings, and apologizes for not being able to catchup this time. She promises she will do her best to reply to everyone as soon as she has recovered. She is also very sad that she must miss the opening of the New Town Square, but sends dittos to everyone. She would send hugs, but she doesn't want to spread her germs around and so sends smiles and waves instead."Having delivered his message, Dot's Narrator hurries away from the Square. All of a sudden, he pauses. He has realized something. He looks around suspiciously."If I am the Narrator, who is speaking?"Who indeed?
